Are Air Leaks Increasing Your Home's Heating and Cooling Costs?
Air leaks in your home could be small, but the cost may be mighty. Many homeowners have been paying high energy bills for years, while having no idea that their home has had areas of air leakage.
We are here to help explain exactly where to begin when searching for gapping within your home.
When beginning to inspect your home, it is important to be on the lookout in any area that may be drastically different in temperature. Leakage is often found near doors, joists in your home, windows, or even fireplaces.
Other areas within your attic, main floors, or even crawlspace to consider examining include:
- Ductwork
- Gapping around exterior walls, vents, or even chimneys
- Electrical penetrations
- Attic hatches
- Recessed lights or fans
- Exterior doors
- Windows
- Plumbing
- Electrical outlets
- Bath fans
- Cracking, holes, or gapping in drywall
